There are various patches in the "patches" dir that deal with cached checksums in different ways: - checksum-reading.diff & checksum-updating.diff -- both of these use a special file in each dir to store the checksums, with the latter putting code into rsync to be able to update the file when copying the files (both have a perl script to build/update the files and check checksums against the file). - checksum-xattr.diff -- this has a script that puts checksums into an xattr field which rsync can access when it is using the --checksum option. The very latest version of this patch (in git) adds a --list and --check option to the script. - db.diff -- this is the start of some db-accessing code for rsync that can be used to store/access/check checksums (supports sqlite and mysql at present). This is the method I like the best, but the code is in an early state that needs more work. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
